Benihana - Chelsea

Ben has been talking about us going to a Benihana for ages! So when I saw a deal on Amazon Local, I snapped it up for a double date with Phil and Ida!

So, for £29 we got a teppanyaki menu with a glass of prosecco. You got about four mini starters and three mains with a choice between prawns, chicken, salmon and steak teppanyaki, with rice and ice cream dessert - not bad at all. I expected super small portions but there was so much food and we were all so full by the end we could not finish everything! We made the mistake of ordering extra sushi (although it was so good you could hardly call it a mistake).

So, in case you are not aware, at Benihana, your mains are cooked right in front of you by one of the chefs with an incredible amount of flare. Things were thrown in the air, diced and cut with skill, flipped, tossed, somersaulted around, etc. And of course...there was an onion volcano.

Dinner and a show. Awesome.

The food itself was also pretty damn tasty! I would totally go again...but I think I would keep my eye out for a deal as a peek at the dinner menu indicates that it is a little pricey outside of a deal. It was an exceptionally nice restaurant though, and we left very happy customers!
